We love nothing more than celebrating incredible talent within our hospitality family. Today we’re shining the spotlight on The Hanger Free House! Their exceptional owner and head chef, Francis Joyce has been proudly nominated for a national award. Putting him among some of the very best in catering! Representing Hampshire as the only listed county chef in his category, Francis is in the running for the “One to Watch” award at The Staff Canteen Awards 2025.
This award is a particularly special one. Launched in 2020, the TSC Awards are the only hospitality awards that are entirely nominated and voted for by their audience. There are no judging panels and no sponsor influence. Just genuine recognition from the people who live and breathe hospitality every day. The “One to Watch” category celebrates the up-and-coming talent you believe will become the next hospitality superstars. And it’s safe to say Francis is more than deserving of the spotlight!
Voting is now live, giving supporters the chance to help Francis make it to the national shortlist. The winners will be revealed at the live awards ceremony at London’s Scotland House on Monday 10th November 2025. But to get there, Francis needs your vote!
